## Resource

Congressman Michael McCaul is advancing a sweeping sanctions bill targeting Russia — and honoring the late Senator Lindsey Graham, a fierce advocate for Ukraine. The legislation aims to cripple Putin’s leverage by imposing direct sanctions on Russia and secondary penalties on nations that continue buying Russian energy, hoping to force a negotiated peace. McCaul, echoing Graham’s moral stance on defending Ukraine, argues this economic pressure — paired with military aid — is essential to tipping the conflict toward resolution. While experts agree financial pressure is key, they stress it must be combined with battlefield support. With bipartisan momentum building and Ukraine gaining ground, the push for this bill is seen as a critical step toward ending the war.
